ohhh noooooooes..BROKE SOMETHING ON A TRACK DAY...
OK I HAVE A SMALL PROBLEM...Well I hope its small... i am out enjoying this friday at a track day when i am coming into turn one at roebling road and bam something is wrong.. i stab the brakes shift into fourth ... get past the apex and brake to settle the car and shift into third....hmmmm where is third .... oh sh!t....it will not go into gear... so i get through turn two and limp in nuetral... finally get it into third.... go into the pits and get the car to my spot.. motor is fine pedal feels a tad light...well i leave it running and get it to shift into first by going to second from a dead stop and then going to first... the car shudders like a kid at Micheal Jacksons ranch for a sleepover... it jolts, jumps, chatters emensly... ok so i try reverse.. same effect.. now if i engage very very..i mean very lightly it will shudder a tad but will get the car in motion...after its in motion it is drivable, but it still is tough to get it to change into gears especially into 5th &6th... i was told it most likely is a clutch spring... the S has 60k on it and the clutch still had plenty of life...well it did..lol...any help suggestions,ect to what it could be would be greatly appreciated...Thanks\

I hope it is a quick fix for you! How do you like that double Apex at Roebling turn 1 and 2 ? lotsa fun huh??
You have gotten good mileage out of that clutch especially if you are doing track days! You may want to consider an upgrade if it needs replacing!
